Answer
The freezing chest in a refrigerator is fitted near its top because air in the top when contact with the freezing chest gets cooled and become denser and descends down. The hot air from lower part rises up thus convection currents are formed.The cold air coming down from the cooling chest cools the entire space along with the things present in the refrigerator.
